← ScienceWhich consequence of Le Chatelier's principle dominates dynamic chemical equilibrium under industrial ammonia synthesis at elevated temperature?
A)Reduced equilibrium yield of ammonia✓
B)Increased catalyst surface area
C)Enhanced nitrogen dissociation rate
D)Decreased activation energy via adsorption
💡 Explanation
When temperature elevates the equilibrium of exothermic ammonia synthesis shifts via Le Chatelier's principle, decreasing the forward reaction constant because heat acts as product, reducing final ammonia yield. Therefore a yield reduction occurs rather than enhanced catalytic effects since increased temperature disfavors product formation based on equilibrium constants.
